The stopping distance for each block is measured after it has been launched with some initial speed. Experiments are performed on four blocks, each with mass m = 7 kg. The coefficient of kinetic friction and the initial speed of each block was as follows: a) Block 1: Hx = 0.2 , vị = 2 m/s b) Block 2: µk = 0.2 , Vị = 4 m/s c) Block 3: µz = 0.4 , v; = 2 m/s d) Block 4: Hx = 0.4 , vị = 4 m/s Calculate the stopping distance for each block. Note that you can use either energetics (conservation of energy) or kinematics (forces) to answer this question.

- A person steps horizontally off the roof of a single-story house that is 3.1 m high. When his feet hit theground below, he bends his knees such that his torso decelerates over a distance of 0.65 m before coming to astop. If the mass of his torso is 50 kg, what is the average net force exerted on his torso over this distance?arrow_forwardDancers experience large forces associated with the jumps they make. For example, when a dancer lands after a vertical jump, the force exerted on the head by the neck must exceed the head's weight by enough to cause the head to slow down and come to rest. The head is about 9.4%% of a typical person's mass. Video analysis of a 70 kgkg dancer landing after a vertical jump shows that her head slows down from 4.2 m/sm/s to rest in a time of 0.19 s.What is the magnitude of the average force that her neck exerts on her head during the landing?arrow_forwardA boy coasts down a hill on a sled, reaching a level surface at the bottom with a speed of 7.8 m/s.
